In all the health care reform debates has anyone heard anything about rewarding those of us who choose to do the things to stay health and fit. Most of the chronic diseases of today such as heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory diseases are the result of life choice. People who exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet, and don't smoke enjoy greater health and cost our employers, insurer's, and our society a lot less in health care than those who do not.
I believe those of us who have healthy lifestyle habits should be rewarded rather than paying higher insurance cost to cover those who choose to have unhealthy lifestyle habits. Why should I have to pay extra for the health care cost of someone who chooses to be inactive, eat poorly and smoke. What ever happened to personal responsibility?
